2023 presidency: APC needs Rivers votes, not logistics support – Umahi
The Governor of Ebonyi State, Davi Umahi has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not need logistics support but votes from Rivers State.
Umahi stated this during the inauguration of the Akpabu-Itu-Omudiogha-Egbeda road in Emohua LGA in Rivers State on Tuesday.
On Monday, Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike promised to give the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, logistics support for his campaign in the state.
Wike had also promised to give the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, logistics support for his campaign in the state.
However, Umahi insists the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, doesn’t need support but votes.
“Our votes in Ebonyi will go to APC, will go to Asiwaju.
“Your excellency, my party, APC, we don’t need logistics. We’ve seen the presidential candidates come here and you are a doer of promise. And when you say you’ll give logistics support; we know you will.
“But you see, APC, we don’t need logistics support; we need votes — just for the presidential one. I will not ask what is impossible. So, that presidential one, keep it for Asiwaju,” Umahi said.
